Asustek Computer Company maintains a cautious approach to the market of so-called "smart" watches, but still not declared their intentions to develop the market of smart glasses.
First of all, the head of Asus criticizes Google Glass first generation. According to him, the device does not provide a sufficiently clear sense of immersion in the augmented reality, as well as poorly interacted with the cloud ecosystem. The real benefit of these points was not enough, so they were not successful. Asustek itself prefers to begin the conquest of the market of devices augmented reality with the support of Microsoft . Microsoft did not disclose the terms of release the consumer version HoloLens on the market, and the version for developers will be available next year, priced at $ 3,000.
Microsoft officials said that the recently released laptop Surface Book should not compete with Asus production . At least, the corporation is not guided by such considerations, bringing it to market. The main task of the device - to popularize the platform Windows.
